About

Enterprise depth, applied to the AI frontier.

I'm an AI Solution Architect and Senior Software Engineer with 18+ years architecting, building, and securing enterprise systems — now applying that depth to the design of production-grade AI platforms and to AI-native software engineering methodology itself.

I designed and operate a tiered, multi-agent AI engineering system — Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku models routed by task, role-specialized agents, and human-gated deploys — and use it to architect and build the RAYFINITE portfolio end to end: from FactGuard, a multi-surface AI fact-verification platform, to an AGI-native ERP integration framework, evidence-integrity infrastructure, cloud/edge incident-response tooling, and consumer apps spanning wellbeing and personal accountability. Ten ventures, one architecture practice — the detail on each is below.

My practice combines hands-on work across the modern AI stack — the Anthropic Claude API, Apple Foundation Models, Google Vertex AI, MCP servers, RAG, and multi-agent orchestration — with deep cloud (AWS, Firebase/GCP), security (NIST 800-53), and full-stack experience leading a team of three engineers at a U.S. state agency.

Fluent in English, Telugu, and Hindi.

The Portfolio, in Detail

Ten ventures spanning AI infrastructure, fact-verification, security, and consumer apps — architected, built, and shipped through the same tiered agent system above. Expand any entry for the full picture.

Zenolon AGI-native ERP AI integration framework/platform

Zenolon is RAYFINITE's AGI-native ERP AI integration framework/platform — four core modules (Governance/Identity, HRMS/HCM, Financials, and the Zenolon Engine) that other RAYFINITE products integrate with, rather than are owned by. The Zenolon Engine module is a CRDT-based distributed coordination store, letting AI agents on multiple machines share state, tasks, and knowledge without a central server. I architected it as the integration layer underneath FactGuard, Dataveb, AEGIDON, AThEnA, and DiamondHull — designed once, reused across the portfolio.

RAYFINITE Agentic Framework Multi-agent AI software-engineering platform

The operational backbone behind every product in this portfolio: tiered model routing across Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku; role-specialized executive and engineering agents; fail-closed CI security-review gates verified adversarially with bait pull requests; cross-machine agent federation; and skill supply-chain allowlisting. I designed and packaged it as a versioned, installable plugin, so the same engineering discipline — not just the code — travels with every venture I build.

Dataveb No-code web-scraping & automated-reporting SaaS

A self-serve, no-code web-scraper and automated-reporting SaaS built on Python/FastAPI, Next.js, and Playwright. I architected it security-first: a point-and-click selector-builder UI, an SSRF-guarded extraction layer, an idempotent job scheduler, and Stripe billing with signed-webhook verification and per-tenant usage metering.

DiamondHull Evidence-integrity layer for AI pipelines

DiamondHull is an evidence-integrity layer for AI verification pipelines: provenance-tracked evidence records secured with Ed25519 cryptographic signing, so tampered or poisoned inputs are detected and rejected before they can influence a model's output. I designed it as infrastructure other RAYFINITE products — including FactGuard — can build verification guarantees on top of.

See project card
AEGIDON Cloud/edge hybrid multi-agent IT incident response

A cloud/edge hybrid multi-agent platform for IT incident response, built on FastAPI, WebSockets, PostgreSQL, and Redis. I architected an incident-commander orchestration model that coordinates six specialist agents under a graduated permission system — zero-trust credential handling, blast-radius analysis before any action is taken, and end-to-end audit logging throughout.

See project card
AThEnA AI product in the Zenolon family

AThEnA is a standalone RAYFINITE AI product I'm architecting to integrate with the Zenolon ERP AI integration framework, alongside AEGIDON and DiamondHull. It extends the same multi-agent engineering practice — tiered model routing, role-specialized agents, human-gated deploys — to a dedicated product surface, currently in active architecture and design.

See project card
FactGuard Multi-surface AI fact-verification platform

FactGuard is my flagship product: a multi-surface AI fact-verification platform spanning iOS, web, a public REST API, and an MCP server, deployed on Firebase/GCP. I architected a proprietary multi-step verification engine with multi-provider model routing and a circuit breaker for resilience, plus live Stripe subscription billing — end to end, from evidence grounding to production deploy.

WeatherHappiness iOS wellbeing app

A SwiftUI + HealthKit iOS app that correlates weather patterns with personal health metrics, paired with a companion web experience on Firebase/GCP. I designed and built it end to end as a consumer wellbeing product — the same architecture discipline as the enterprise systems above, applied to a lighter, personal surface.

See project card
Suncalp — HonestResolve Honest personal-resolutions app — brand Suncalp

HonestResolve turns empty resolutions into real accountability across iOS, Android, and web, under the Suncalp brand. I architected a 5-step AI-guided "Honest Interview" that scores commitment authenticity (Bronze/Silver/Gold badges), streak-based check-ins, and social accountability features — a wall, leaderboards, reactions, and direct messaging — with Sign in with Apple and a Firebase-backed architecture.

See project card
LovelyRobo Spatial AI-companion platform

LovelyRobo is a spatial AI-companion platform: photoreal 3D companion robots — each a full task-specialist (career coaching, productivity, and more) that completes real workflows end to end rather than just chatting — with live voice conversation, persistent memory, and warm character. I architected it to be offered both individually and as a bundle.

Capabilities

An agentic-AI-engineering practice, built on deep systems fundamentals.

The skill set that differentiates my practice: designing and operating multi-agent AI systems — not just calling an API, but architecting how AI agents plan, verify, and ship software safely.
